The list is long on what to avoid when it comes to body care, and it is surprising what can be found in products we buy to feel better. Below are some ingredients to look out for;

Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate(SLS) - are irritants and are found in most foaming products like shampoos, conditioners, body washes and toothpastes. They irritate eyes, skin, mucous membranes and can lead to direct damage to the hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children and even liver toxicity.

Parabens - a toxic preservative found in cosmetics, toothpaste, and has been linked to cancer. The four main parabens are methyl, ethyl, propyl and putyl parabens.

Titanium Dioxide - a suspected caricinogen used as pigment and thickener for many cosmetic and skincare products. It is harmful to the environment, acidifies rivers and seas, and damages ecosystems i nature.

Phthalates - called “plasticizers,” are a group of industrial chemicals used to make plastics like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) more flexible, and can also be found in nail polish, hair spray, perfume and shampoo. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, including sperm damage in men. Most fragrances don't list phthalates on the label, but hide them under the term"fragrance."http://www.naturalnews.com/033542_phthalates_personal_care_products.html
